Curtsy Lunge Side Kick Raise Instructions
1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in your right hand.
2. Take a big step back with your left leg, cross it behind your right leg, and lunge.
3. As you stand up, kick your left leg out to the side and raise the dumbbell to shoulder height.
4. Repeat and then switch sides.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Engage your core, face forward, open your chest and keep your back straight. As you lunge, keep your front knee over your ankle, and keep your toes pointing in the same direction as your knees. Exhale as you stand up and, as you kick out to the side and raise the dumbbell, maintain your back aligned.
